Dashoguz

The Dashoguz meteorite fell
on September 5, 1998 outside the city of Dashoguz, Turkmenistan. A small
crater was found with ~7 kilograms of fragments surrounding it. This
meteorite is a chondrite, (H5) and is quite fragile, with some large
metal nodules scattered throughout! I bought the first piece to
ever been offered on the meteorite market. I got 1.7 kilogram and all
of these pieces are taken from that large piece. There is
speculation that this is paired with kunya-Urgench, and the similarities
are enough to suggest it may be, but it is an official meteorite, in the
bulletin, so will stay as it is. Since I have never seen a piece of
Kunya-Urgench that was not highly weathered, and this one is as pristine
as it gets, it makes me think that this is a unique fall as it is
classified.

I won't get any more, so
when this is gone, that is the end of it. If you want a piece of this
fall, get one now.
